Thrifty & Chic: Small Frye

Last weekend I went on a little thrift outing with my cousin-in-law. We had some great success! Natalie found a rad leather sling bag and I found some small Frye-like boots for Penelope! While we were shopping I found a bunch of awesome finds, but really held back. Do I need an 8th pair of boots? Perhaps not, but there was no way I was going to pass up these gorgeous black leather motorcycle boots. They were $10.

Isn’t she a little diva? Penelope wasn’t shopping with me when I found the boots, so it was a gamble whether or not they’d fit on her chubby feet. Luck was on my side because they fit perfectly!! She’ll probably grow out of them in the next month, but we will be having another kid sometime in the future, who could also benefit from my thrifty find.

I have to admit; I’m a little jealous that they’re Penelope’s size and not mine. Oh well. Everything is cuter when it’s micro-sized anyway. I’m not sure anyone else I’ve bragged to has had the same enthusiasm about these boots as I do, but I am more than thrilled about my wallet-savvy find!

Have you found any good deals lately? Leave a comment and tell me about it (links are welcome)!

I feel so inspired by your thrifting! Seriously it’s incredible. Some people have such a gift and eye and patience and seeing potential. You def have that gift! Hopefully one day I’ll be good at thrifting.

No extremely good finds, but I was at Downeast a few days ago and noticed some adorable lockets at the check-out (they always snag me with things like that at the checkout) Anyway they weren’t priced so I asked, to which the store girl replied “They’re 1 for 20 or 3 for 20.” Huh? I asked for clarification “Yep, I know it sounds silly but we’re trying to get rid of them.” JACKPOT! So I got 3 cute sterling silver monogrammed lockets for myself and two sisters in law, all for 20 bucks.

I love all of your thrifted finds. I am wanting to start thrift store shopping but am not sure what are some good stores to check out. I live in the SLC area and other than the DI wonder what other stores are worth checking out???

I love the little boots! And I think you’re right that they look so cute because they are tiny!
I hit the jackpot at a garage sale this weekend! Four 1960s purses for a dollar each!! The lady that owned them must have had a purse for every outfit. No pictures on my blog yet…but trust me…they are amazing!

I love her face in the first picture. What a cutie! I’m always excited to see your posts on thrifting. I really need to go to these places and check it out. I’ve always wondered about Decades on state st. I ussully see some cute dresses when I pass by. So I will have to stop in and actually see what they have.

This has got to be the cutest outfit ever. I recently found the most adorable vintage red polka dot dress at the D.I. I hope to post it soon. I hear ya on holding back. It seems that sometimes thrifting defeats its purpose with me because I can’t give up a good deal!!
